Colour Courage - The Grit in Our Oyster

This is a vibrant painting full of energy and joie de vivre, inspired by the quote from Hamlet. It is about having the courage to embrace colour again when maybe you have been through a colourless time.

Sometimes we can feel that, as children, we weren’t seen by our parents or caregivers. This may have led us to trying hard to fit the mould of what we were required to be.That is the Grief. But not being seen is also what makes us what we are. It is the grit in our oyster. That is the Victory.
